Must-See Moments From the “Shake It Off” Aerobic Dance Video

The “Shake It Off” Aerobic Dance Video Is No Longer Online, But We Captured Every Must-See Moment!

There was a brief moment of glory this morning when all was right in the world—Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" was dubbed over the opening choreography of the 1988 National Aerobic Championship and it was magical. But a copyright claim is (hopefully only temporarily) making this video unavailable—we'll update this page right away if the video becomes public again.

It’s almost eerie how seamlessly Swift’s lyrics match up to the aerobic choreography. As she croons: “You could’ve been getting down to this sick beat,” three of the dancers pelvic thrust in perfect unison to that sick beat that Swift is talking about.

Can you tell we’ve been watching the video on repeat all morning? And after our tenth time hitting the refresh button, we started to realize how these aerobic dancers managed to incorporate all of our favorite dance moves. So, naturally, we’ve broken them down for you below:
